Answer 2

I think I did #1 correctly because this is what my book says on sovereignty:

"Sovereignty is independent legal authority over a population in a particular territory based on self-determination. External sovereignty is the right to make binding agreements with other states. Internal sovereignty is the right to make political decisions having to do with one’s own citizens. Sovereignty is never absolute—every state has constraints on its internal and external sovereignty."


But I am a bit confused on #2 and what anarchists beliefs are and what they would support.

Answer 3

For #3 I said True because isn't it true that as societies become richer and more technologically advanced, citizens involvement and democratization increases?

Answer 4

1 "Sovereign states" ... as far as I know most countries are "sovereign" - ie not OCCUPIED by a foreign power/state. the current ruck in the middle east is partly caused by a "non sov state" with guns. So, as a wild guess i'd go for A.
Anarchists .... don't like laws at all, do they ? B
Developed countries have more time to bicker and get into democracy than those existing hand to mouth. So A
